“The Denon DCD-A110 Anniversary Edition is a terrific piece of gear. Yes, I know, the SACD/CD formats are purportedly dead and streaming is all the rage currently. Well, I'm somewhat of a Luddite, and still want to play physical media given my extensive collection of discs and the tactile joy they bring. Right out of the box, there is palpable gravitas, tremendous micro-detail, and great width and depth in the soundstaging.The sound leans to the warm side ever so slightly, and is highly detailed without being thin or clinical. SACD playback is quite excellent, but it’s with Redbook that this baby shines. The CD sound is hi-res in every sense, and the player certainly brings older CDs from the pleistocine era into the modern world. That may be atrributable to the quad DAC set-up. Build quality is off the charts ... it’s a heavy beast with a beautiful, gun metal finish. The internals are chock full of high quality parts, so it's obvious that Denon focused heavily on sound quality. There simply is no empty real estate inside. If I had to nitpick, it would be: (a) no balanced outputs; and (b) lack of an "eject disc" function on the remote. I don’t stream, so the lack of digital inputs is irrelevant to me. This is a purist, old-school design in many ways, and is a statement piece by Denon. Denon really has pulled out all the stops on the DCD-A110, and created a marvelous sounding piece for all of us "old timers."”

“This player is built like tank. The Denon plays and sounds just awesome! A great addition to my audio set up. The counseling and service from Upscale is second to none. Thanks again!”

“Purchased from Upscale Audio (from a very knowledgeable representative over the phone), our Denon DCD-A110 SACD player has been wonderful from day one. My wife and I purchased this for our bedroom system, which has a passive pre-amp (no power, volume controls only), so the music we hear is really what the Denon produces through our amplifier...and it musically produces every little detail (highs, lows, depth, warmth, etc.). This Denon amazes.”
